Solomons, Maritime community at Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay, United States
Located at the southern tip of Calvert County, Solomons Island features a harbor, waterfront boardwalk, and maritime exhibits at the Calvert Marine Museum.
The area transformed from Isaac Solomon's oyster enterprise in the 1800s to a Naval Amphibious Training Base during World War II, preparing 60,000 troops.
The Annmarie Sculpture Garden displays permanent collections and temporary exhibitions in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution throughout its 30-acre park.
The Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge connects Solomons Island to St. Mary's County, with numerous restaurants and marinas along the waterfront.
The Chesapeake Biological Laboratory maintains research facilities and an oyster reef community aquarium for studying local marine ecosystems.
